Proud of the prestige

A DANDENONG business has donated more than $12,000 to Windermere Child and Family Services.
Prestige Hino Dandenong raised $12,130 from its annual golf day which was held at Sandhurst Golf Club in November.
“We at Prestige Hino are very proud of our relationship with Windermere and are incredibly pleased that this donation will support an organisation that supports our local community,” dealer principal Anthony Long said.
“Our golf day involves a lot of our local suppliers so it is with great pleasure that we are able to embrace the community and give something back.”
Windermere community partnerships and marketing manager Carina Tomietto said she was extremely grateful for the dealership’s ongoing support.
“This year’s grand tally of $12,130 is absolutely staggering!” she said.
Ms Tomietto said the cash would help Windermere to continue to provide children, families and individuals in the community with much-needed services this Christmas.
“Ones that otherwise could see them on long waiting lists,” she said.
Windermere provides emotional and practical support services for vulnerable children, families and individuals.
Windermere improves wellbeing in children, families and communities by helping them to realise their potential, build resilience and connect people in the community.
Call Windermere Child and Family Services on 9705 3200 or email info@windermere.org.au for more information.
